The ball after contact goes farther. Elenentary physics makes it so. The energy from contact shoots up the barrel and is reflected downward from the internal convex cup at the end of the bat adding to the initial energy. The transaction of enegy is in milliseconds and the result is an extra five to ten feet in distance. Please note although the cup externally is concave it is intertnally convex; that is from the perspective of the ball as it makes contact and impresses energy inside the wood as a conductor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055358841733153770.post-77997586046285377182014-10-29T08:48:02.524-04:002014-10-29T08:48:02.524-04:00I think the cupping is less for balance than to ma...I think the cupping is less for balance than to make the bat lighter so you can generate more bat speed; bat speed was Ted Williams theory of driving the ball--same impetus for when players "cork" a bat; it's to make it lighter while retaining heft, yes?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925472241543567360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055358841733153770.post-91597287549864321642014-10-25T23:47:00.949-04:002014-10-25T23:47:00.949-04:00Now I can explain the history of the concave bat t...Now I can explain the history of the concave bat to my son and husband.
